Making more new parts.

Today I started early. The part I tack welded earlier was welded grounded and hammered to flatten it again.
 I then applied some galvanic paint to protect it from rust.
On to the next part. This part is part of the door post , the underside where the bottom hinge is attached. This part was cut out earlier to give better access.
The bottom is almost rusted away.
 After some grinding welding and forming it looks much better.
 It also got some protective paint. Next on the list is the part to witch the outer skin is attached and to witch the fender is bolted to. As you can see the bottom is almost completely rusted away.
 And this is how the part looks now before paint.
 Next a piece of the floor and firewall are cut out. They were rusted trough.
 This is what the repair looks like.
 Then it was time to weld some  parts to the cabin again. I started with the bottom of the door post. It is tacked in place and alligned.
 Next is the inner plate that I made as first. Tacking it in place and finishing the welds.
 And then the last part to witch the fender is mounted. This piece had to be cut again to make it fit to the fender and car. After the welds are finished this is what it looks like before paint.
 This is a view from the inside. There are no more holes.
 So next I started with the fabrication of the last part. The outer skin. After some cutting forming and bending I tacked the first piece in place.
The next piece will be for a later date. And it needs to be checked with the door it should align perfect before finishing the welds.
